Experts say prospects of deal are ‘very, very dicey’ as top US and Russian diplomats meet in Geneva
A momentous week of diplomacy is about to get under way in Europe, with the fate of Ukraine, hemmed in by 100,000 Russian troops, hanging in the balance.
Senior diplomats from the US and Russia will meet in Geneva on Sunday and Monday to discuss Moscow’s demands, set out last month in two draft treaties, one with the US and one with Nato. Much of their content is unacceptable to Washington and the alliance, most importantly a pledge that Ukraine will never be a Nato member.
